Lyrics:


My friends are so depressed

I feel the question of your loneliness

Confide 'cause I'll be on your side

You know I will you know I will


Ex girlfriend called me up

Alone and desperate on the prison phone

They want to give her seven years

For being sad


Chorus:

I love all of you

Hurt by the cold

So hard and lonely too

When you don't know yourself


My friends are so distressed

And standing on the brink of emptiness

No words I know of to express

This emptiness


chorus


Imagine me tauhgt by tragedy

Release is peace

I heard a little girl

And what she said

Was something beautiful

To give your love

No matter what she said


chorus
